Apple’s foldable iPhone sounds short and wide, so it may not fit your pocket

A new report from iPhone-ticker.de says accessory makers are already preparing for Apple’s first foldable iPhone, and it includes the most concrete Apple foldable iPhone dimensions we’ve seen so far. The site says it obtained CAD drawings and measurements tied to an internal project labeled V68, with a timeline that points to September 2026.

Taken at face value, this is a foldable built around a different carry compromise than a normal iPhone. Folded, it’s listed at 83.8mm (3.30 inches) wide, 120.6mm (4.75 inches) tall, and 9.6mm (0.38 inches) thick, a short, wide block that could feel steady in your hand, while also being harder to ignore in a front pocket.

A wide, squat closed profile

That 83.8mm (3.30 inches) folded width is the headline spec. It’s the number that will decide whether one-handed use feels comfortable or cramped, and whether the phone sits flat in tighter pants or prints like a small wallet.

The leak lists a cover display diagonal of 139.4mm (5.49 inches) and a resolution of 2,088 x 1,422. Paired with the 120.6mm (4.75 inches) folded height, it reads like a cover screen meant for quick interactions, not a tall, familiar iPhone-style layout. Compare these dimensions to the best foldables out now.

Why it opens like a mini tablet

Open it up and the proportions start to look deliberate. The unfolded body is listed at 167.6mm (6.60 inches) by 120.6mm (4.75 inches), with an inner display measured at 197.1mm (7.76 inches) and a reported 2,713 x 1,920 resolution.

The report compares that idea to the iPad mini, which has a 210.8mm (8.3 inches) display and measures 195.4mm (7.69 inches) by 134.8mm (5.31 inches). In other words, the wide closed footprint may be the price of a squarer, small-tablet canvas when open.

Thin open, but the bump matters

The CAD details also suggest Apple is chasing thinness when unfolded: 4.8mm (0.19 inches), excluding the camera bump. That caveat is doing work, because the bump affects table wobble, case bulk, and how “thin” it feels in practice.

For context, iPhone-ticker.de compares that to an iPhone Air at 5.64mm (0.22 inches), while Samsung’s current Galaxy Fold is listed at 4.2mm (0.17 inches). The drawings shown also suggest a dual rear camera and an inner selfie camera integrated into the display, but they don’t clarify whether there’s a notch-style cutout.
